2018:  Meet Princess, who has been generously sponsored by Mary Jo Nelson. She is 10 years old and is in the kindergarten this year. She lives in Karnla, Liberia with her mother and father. Princess’s village does not have a school. She walks about 4 miles each way to go to school in the nearest town with a school. Princess’s parents had been subsistent farmers until last year when her father fell and broke his back and has been unable to do physical work. Her mother alone is unable to continue the farming work to support her family. Princess hopes to be a doctor when she grows up.
